    Drain Hole

    she is not saying that it is yellow or puss coming from it. she is saying " Today it's a little tender and a teeny bit red/pink around the edges. " Pink/red around the edges is common .... red, hot to the touch and yellow puss coming from it is not good.... but she is not expierencing that per her post.

    Drain Hole

    red, hot to the touch with yellowish puss coming from it is bad. pink around the edges is good.

    Eggface Ricotta Bake

    this time I used whole milk ricotta. next time I am going to use part-skim. it was actually too rich tasting.
  8. I think she sees a lot of people on here talking about revisions. A lot of people are going from lap-band to the sleeve. your sleeve will work for you as long as you take care of it. dont stretch it out and you'll be good. As an ER nurse, to me, this is the safest of all the weight loss surgeries with the least complications. Remember, I see ALL the screw-ups and I had a sleeve

    Eggface Ricotta Bake

    I am still in the pureed stage. my Nut. said if it can go in a straw then you can have it. I actually watered this down and added extra marinara sauce to make it soupy. still awsome

    Question Surgery & Menstrating

    some OR's require you to wear a pad nstead of a tampon. I pretty muched refused stating that the surgery will take less then 8 hours and i'll be up and walking to the bathroom before that 8 hours is up. One nurse tried to tell me i couldnt wear one in case I needed a foley. lol I was like.... wrong hole. In the end I got my way and wore a tampon

    Not Much Restriction

    so my question is being in the full liquid stage how much is too much? I have 2 Protein shakes / day. one when I wake up and the other around 8pm . inbetween i drink my required Water and have 4oz of blended Soup or 4 oz of pureed carrots. I have been very mindful not to eat any white carbs (grits, mashed potato). but today I am hungry... not just head hungry. This is the first time I have felt like tearing the fridge apart. I already had my soup today... can I have something else also. I am only like 10 days out

    Eating Out On Vacation

    I am still in the liquid phase but husband and I went out for a long walk last night and afterwards we went out or dinner. I ordered a bowl of soup (should have ordered the cup... I have so much left over) and I asked them to put it in the blender for me and they did without hesitation. I actually had to have them bring over a cup of hot water the thin it ut. but it tasted great. small non-chain restaurants are usually very accomodating. good luck :-)
  17. Iuse Gladiator by smoothie king. It is the ONLY one that I can tolerate and even that I can only use one scoop at a time. (23Grams) I also have to have it made with ice in a blender. That makes all the difference in the world. the minute it gets warm..... it tastes disgusting

    Pizza Crust ....

    I am gonna have to try this one once I can eat "real food" Cauliflower Crust pizza Ingredients: 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 egg, beaten 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp crushed garlic 1/2 tsp garlic salt olive oil (optional) pizza sauce, shredded cheese and your choice of toppings* Directions: To "Rice" the Cauliflower: Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater). Place the riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes (some microwaves are more powerful than others, so you may need to reduce this cooking time). There is no need to add Water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself. One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. To Make the Pizza Crust: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9" round. Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. To the crust, add sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes). Enjoy! *Note that toppings need to be precooked since you are only broiling for a few minutes
